Megan Rapinoe is an American treasure and eloquently sums up how we can both be proud of our country's achievements AND be honest about it's remaining challenges. She ends by saying that we can "make this country better for everyone." "A more perfect Union", one might say! 🇺🇸⚽️

Dear ILM and Lucasfilm Story Group, I'd very much like a hi-res image of the fleet arrival from #TheRiseOfSkywalker so that I can lock myself in a room for 12 hours and analyze it. Oh, and identify all the ship classes. And count them. Sincerely, A fan

I have lots of thoughts on #TheBookOfBobaFett (good, bad, and otherwise), but one thing I am impressed with is the use of aliens as major characters vs. being window dressing or background cameos. That is something that was sorely missing from the ST, imo

Say what you want of TROS, but the symbolism of Rey, last of the Jedi, using the sabers of Anakin/Luke and Leia to defeat Palpatine by turning the Sith Lord’s power against himself is peak Star Wars, peak George, and still gives me chills. 👌🏼

One of the best things about #Andor is that it gives us a good feel for the symbiosis between the locals insurgencies and the eventual Rebel Alliance. Each was entirely dependent on the other. The insurgencies kept the Empire spread, the Rebel Alliance delivered the big blows.

So, the vibe I'm getting from #Andor is that there is an (older?) element of Chandrilan society that likes arranged marriages for youths and a more progressive element that thinks this practice is backwards. As I've said before, I like it when SW cultures aren't all stereotypes.

While not a perfect film, I will always love this sequence from TROS. It is classic Star Wars. Sidious, Sith Lord, being defeated by his own hateful energy. Rey, last of the Jedi, using the sabers of her masters, doesn't attack. She defends, pushing the dark energy back at him.

The fact that those corporate security officers specifically called out Cassian as a human when looking for him was actually really cool. It reinforces that this is a multicultural, multi species galaxy. Human isn’t the default #Andor

If you don’t get choked up when the fleet arrives with Lando and the music swells, you’re a fake fine. I’m sorry, I don’t make the rules. It’s the music that sells the scene. It’s a joyful, powerful moment of the galaxy’s people taking their destiny back into their own hands.
